A long time down away on Eastside, Southside
Los Angeles, Detroit, America, U. S. A
Sittin' right about here watchin' high heels
And sneakers tread concrete platform headin' straight
For who knows where and why and how come

Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

I'm thinkin' in sick brain
Say man, where you goin' with all those stories
Wrapped up in suitcase and handbags and old rags?
Says, I can't stay, but the 12: 40's got my name
Well it goes without sayin', everybody loves a train

Steel whistle blowin' a crazy round and round
Jump on a car when she comes around
Steel whistle blowin' a crazy round and round
Jump on a car when she coming around
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

Just goes without saying
That everybody loves a train
Go ahead and call us insane
But we all just love a train
We love a train
Yeah, we love a train
